No more. No more. No more.

If you are like me, you have some difficulty with unpleasant tasks. We go into evasion mode when we foresee a distasteful experience. You will feel 100% better when you eliminate these types of people from your business:

• Do you have customers who are rude and disrespectful to you or your employees? Fire them today.

• How about a customer with a history of prolonged Accounts Receivable? Write them off today.

• Is there a chronic complainer among your customers? Enough already;             cut them loose now.

• Have any short tempered customers where the least little things set them off? Do not wait for their next outburst; dismiss them now.

• What about your customer who is always fishing for you to cut them a deal and discount your fee? Simply raise your price and they will either agree or eliminate themselves. 

If you see yourself in any of these situations you are carrying around unhealthy emotional and psychological baggage. This has a direct effect on your business. This has a direct effect on your health. You have to be eager to identify who you are, who you're not, and whether a client's desires and principles mirror your core values.

There comes a time in every growing business when you get to select the customer. Do yourself a big favor and fire the people who are making you feel bad.  Once you lighten your load you will feel much better about yourself and your business. 

Best wishes for continued success.

Learn to Speak "Customer"

Do you ever use trade jargon - words your prospect may not be familiar with?

Too often we get caught up with our own buzzwords our potential customers do not understand or comprehend. This could inhibit them from returning to your social media location or scare them away for good. No one wants to feel ignorant. No need to impress them with your industry specific vocabulary.

Every business has trade jargon - words and expressions handy, meaningful, and convenient, but only to people in that business. How much trade talk do you use on your web page, Facebook fan page, twitter  feed, or your face-to-face marketing and sales presentations?

Have you ever recorded your content and then examined it critically with this point in mind?

Try this  . . . . Make a recording of all your content from all of your social media platforms. Now listen to it without looking at the actual online location. What does your copy sound like? Is it customer-centric or does it sound like you are talking shop at your industry convention?

In addition  . . . . Find someone in the target age group you are looking to reach and have them listen to your content. Do they get it? What questions do they have?

Best of all . . . . When you evaluate your content this way you insure you are presenting language the customer understands. Accept nothing less.

That’s why . . . . you will grow to greatness when you become fluent in customer language.

Best wishes for continued success.
